Dong Nai’s labour market remains stable after riots

The labour market in the southern province of Dong Nai remains stable
after the recent social disturbances that caused damage to several
companies and factories in the locality.

The
affirmation was made by Lam Thanh Thu, deputy head of the Dong Nai
Employment Centre, on June 10 after the province’s 74th job fair
ended.

Thu said that 26 businesses took part in this
fair with the recruitment demand of nearly 1,200 labourers, quite
similar to that in previous events.

At the fair,
enterprises received nearly 600 resumes from job-seekers, he said,
adding that most applicants want to change their current position, while
most businesses need to recruit more employees as they want to expand
operations.

According to the provincial Department
of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs, all enterprises affected by
the recent riots have stablised their production, while all workers have
also returned to work.

The riots erupted on May
13-14 in the locality and Ha Tinh and Dong Nai provinces during workers’
rallies against China’s illegal placement of its oil rig Haiyang Shiyou
– 981 in Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.

Some individuals incited others to destroy property of
foreign-invested firms and acted against law enforcement officials,
disrupting social order and business activities.-VNA
